8/10 Good
"Sarah the host was lovely and we enjoyed her art/gallery and garden. Chalet was in a good position if you have a car. We didn't know you couldn't drive your car to your chalet - suitcases have to be lugged up and down steps. We would have liked some outdoor seating. Kitchen was small but good and had everything we needed. Lsundry was fine. I thought the chalets were near a beach because of the photos but they weren't."

"Not the fanciest hotel BUT great location and the room was large, clean, comfortable and priced right! Couldn’t ask for more. Parking easy. Dinner was great. Breakfast was wonderful - what a way to start the day exploring Shetland. Ate one night at Frankie’s fish seafood - it was great. Make sure to make reservation if you want to eat at restaurant otherwise it will be take a way. Staff at hotel were great. I would stay here again."

NEW Luxury Group Sea View Stay; Spacious, Garden

NEW Luxury Group Sea View Stay; Spacious, Garden

10/10 Excellent
"Booking the property was very easy and the VRBO posting accurately reflected our experience there. This property is beautiful and peaceful...even the drive to the location is very scenic. The location is amazing, on the water the views are great. The property was immaculate, had everything we needed for our family of 10 adults. The property is very nicely decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The host promptly responded to any questions. What was amazing that I have not seen from other VRBO rentals was the comprehensive online guest guide that not only told you all the things to see in the area but also how to work the kitchen appliances...everything you need to know about the property was documented in the online guest guide. If you are planning a visit to the Shetlands, I would highly recommending staying here. We were very fortunate during our stay as we did not experience any rain until our last day...it was windy but no rain."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sandness?
The best area to stay in Sandness is in and around the village center, particularly for those looking to explore the West Mainland.The village itself is small, characterized by a scattering of houses, a local shop, and the Sandness Pier. Staying here places you within easy reach of the dramatic coastline, including the impressive cliffs and sea stacks of Papa Stour. It's an excellent base for travelers who appreciate being close to natural attractions and enjoy outdoor activities like coastal walks and birdwatching.For couples seeking a quiet retreat with stunning views, accommodations slightly outside the immediate village center, perhaps along the quieter coastal roads, offer a more secluded experience.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
